Rick:
The messages are where you posted them, just do a search for your name, and you'll find them.
I have deleted many old outdated posts, and those answered by one person, having all the time in the world to give opinions not related to the code, and actual trade practices.
George:
I wouldn't worry about what I am posting on the web, my pages have been on line for quite some time, and many use my images, and I have many links throughout the net and we are all aware of the issues you raise.
www.joetedesco.com The quiz was one of the first I developed for combination inspectors in Pasadena, California in the early 80', and is in my book "Basic Checklists for Building Electrical Inspection"
I am surprised that you don't recognize them as simple questions, that I would expect anyone who is planning to install electrical wiring to answer.
In answer to your concerns for the dimension given, it is a well known rule we in the electrical industry are aware of for a long time.
I looked for information in your profile and you too don't provide any.
Are you an electrician, or engineer, or someone who is considered as a qualified person?
PS: I will delete any posts that are rude, vulgar, get off the subject, or those that are not correct.
Most of the questions, before I became moderator there were asked by one person who never came back, and most were answered by one or two persons, some of which are still on the board and some were closed because one answer is all that is needed when it comes to who should do the work, and those did warn the writer to
hire an electrican. I heard Bob Vila himself last Sunday say on his show "When it comes to wiring I always recommend staying away from life threating situations" Good advice!!
Look Here: Some power point files here that can be downloaded.
